Marcus 37 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks Paul That's really useful. You certainly know your wagons without a doubt. The wagon you've converted looks superb. I might have to consider a rake of these myself eventually. Many Thanks for the info. Cheers Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The bridge is looking great Marcus. I do like 145 too. I am a major fan of 47s though as you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks Marcus and Paul, The wagon info is worth knowing, I don't think for an old Lima wagon they look too bad. I was thinking if I painted them back the the ARC livery I could use them on an Ashburys to Penmaenmawr stone working. It's a bit of a future project as I have plenty of other stuff to do but I think they might look quite good. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 I must admit I don't find the old Lima hopper to bad either for its time. You can get a replacement etch for the end platforms and ladders which make them look a lot better. That will be the plan with mine eventually but for now there's more pressing modelling activities. Talking of which, a full day on the bridge today, mostly painting and making some paving for the walkways. Just need some photographers now and a big stone lorry. There's usually what happens when I'm there!! Here's a couple of pictures Waiting for it all to dry before I can crack on. Cheers Marcus 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I feel a 2mm one coming on?? Although yours will want the general sector logos for the period your modelling. It's a nice celebrity to have as it turned up on all manner of Speedlink workings.

Anthony 37411 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Its been a while since the last video so I thought lets make a new intro to start off, then do some filming after. Please let me know what you think about the new intro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdS2I6MsGMk Cheers Anthony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 As you can see Anthony's been busy. I wouldn't even know where to start with something like that! Anyway we've had a good running session this afternoon and done a good amount of video footage. Anthony's in the process of editing it and putting it together at the moment so hopefully he'll post it up later or tomorrow.

Cheers Marcus Hi Marcus, thanks glad the information and photo proved useful, had lots of likes for my post on the PGAs and CBAs. Yes wagons are my passion especially the private owner ones that used to work around Buxton as I will be using them plus others on my Speedlow layout eventually. Cheers Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony 37411 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Evening all, The new video is in the process of rendering and should be on youtube very soon. With the progress of the layout it feels more and more like the peak district, and when the station is finally finished it should look superb. As A bonus at the end of the video there is a little bit of sound editing just for the extra realism . Hope you all enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks Guys. I would just like to point out that the driver of 47145 has been suitably reprimanded for his exuberant driving style. His excuse was lack of control from the H&M power controller. Seriously though, once the layouts nearer to completion the ageing controller will be replaced with DCC. The droppers are all in place so it will just be a case of connecting them all up to a bus wire eventually. At the moment there's more pressing aspects of the layout to do before I buy 50 odd chips. So it will be more Lewis Hamilton school of train driving for the time being!! Cheers Marcus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi Marcus & Anthony, Great video, a nice variety of traction. I still have my old H&M and they just cut it for the modern loco's. you do get better control with DCC, though it will cost you a bit. Cheers Peter.
